Fantastic!

"The art of travel is to deviate from the current plan."If you are fond of travelling or just fond of watching travel shows, This movie is for you. Art of Travel showcases the glorious and at the same time the lowly side of the places they've been through especially the one set in Nicaragua. What I love about this movie was the good cinematography. It captures the beautiful scenery and the culture of the tribes as well.My favorite destination was Machu Piccu. This movie reminded me why Peru was my dream destination. I also loved the well-known wedding scene.I actually saw a video clip on facebook with the caption " the perfect way to get back on your cheating girlfriend". I love how it can make me smile at times. That's why I liked the ending.There are some drawbacks that I noticed in the movie. The cinematography was good;however, one must not expect highly on the resolution because some of the scenes seems to look like it was taken from a video home camera. I also did not find any chemistry between the main character's love interest namely Anna. The plot for me, was draggy,predictable, and will make you feel bored at times. The flow was not clear.It even have some lapses. There are a lot of dead pauses and black screens. Overall, Art of Travel is a good movie for all ye who wanderlust.Or just love the being one with the view. 6.3/10

I love travel, I love travel books and movies - this movie left me totally empty with disappointment at the end, which is significant, given that I was emotionally primed for acceptance. It simply fails on so many levels.I think it deserves 3 stars for cinematography, but that's about it - one would think that the project crew should have been encouraged to rise to the level of the cinematography, but no. The screen writing has little continuity or meaningful base, and the directing displays no maturity - One envisions a long series of one-take scenes! The viewer is expected to believe that a gang of inexperienced trekkers is going to be able to slice through some of the world's most impenetrable terrain without incident - and cut a road in the process! Please. And someone should have given the gang a quick lesson in how one 'holds' a machete, much less how to use it properly - additionally, if this film is actually shot on location, why didn't they make the jungle environment of The Darien look difficult? Most of the shots of jungle terrain look more like a Florida backyard than impenetrable jungle - stuff like this takes the pleasure of viewing away quickly.I note that a large number of reviewers here on IMDb saw this movie at one of the minor movie festivals in the U.S., and that their reviews are generally very favorable. I can only assume that these festivals -for the most part- show only minor independent films, among which films such as this compare very well - and surely the hype surrounding such a festival's best offerings must be significant! How else would you explain such generous praise for such a weak piece? This one deserves to be better - it's a shame it isn't.

This movie was beautiful. We spend most of our lives working to retire. imagine if we need not have to worry about money. That's what captured me in this movie. Rather than show a story of a person that gets married and lives the "American Dream", we see a story about a person who gives that dream up, to live their own life, and he is taken all across the world. Imagine what stories he will have to tell his children, or his followers. The truly inspired live a life like this. I can see why he decided NOT to go with his loved one, he would be giving up the one true thing that made him happy. I hope anyone that watches this movie sees that beauty.

Movie was a little entertaining, but nothing new in it.So... guy who travels... so he travels... and??? NOTHING MORE!!! come on, he does not even makes a lovable character at the end of the movie, in the end you get more interested in other characters - what happened to them, not in him.I didn't even get the idea - what did director wanted to tell us... I guess nothing. Would not watch this movie again, but still if you have nothing to do you could rent it, but I would not recommend you to go and see it in cinema, just not good enough.So I give this movie 5 stars - mediocre. Not bad, but definitely not great also.
